Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam,
About 7 years ago my personal dentist treated the upper left first molar. About three years ago and then again this winter I had fairly major problems (sinus inflammation). I took antibiotics 3 times. Based on the X-ray and after opening the tooth, the dentist advised extraction. We then did that, and apparently it was a good decision because a granuloma was already forming. Based on what was found after extraction (a deep root almost reaching the sinus), he advised against an implant, saying that everything is too deep toward the sinus, and recommended a bridge. From all the comments and articles I get the impression that an implant is nevertheless a better approximation of one's own tooth than a bridge.
I would like to know whether my situation can be solved in some other way so that I could get an implant and then of course be free of problems. I would also like to know whether it is possible that, now that the tooth has been extracted, I can breathe more easily through my nose?
Thank you very much for your advice and answers.
Kind regards,
Matej

Dear Sir/Madam!
Bone-regenerative procedures are routine practice today. Replacing bone mass in the paranasal sinus is probably the most frequently used method. There are certainly cases that remain unsolvable even in the described way, but they are rare. To answer your specific question I would therefore need to take an X-ray (perhaps 3D) and perform a clinical examination. It is possible that after removal of the tooth and the resulting reduction of inflammation in the paranasal sinus, you can breathe more easily through your nose.
Have a nice day!
